Borderlands 3 | Zane Got Buffed! - Thoughts on Fl4k Nerfs & More Changes

Same here lol poor guy drops with just to die its painful and its hurts me to see he is reviving me and than he goes down just to revive poor thing you have to use your abilities to survive, they should really buff him that's why we gotta be OP he is useless on MH3

[@windowwindow9x]

xSacrollyd You can press P to screen shot in a cutscene (image quality depend on your computer) and I sometimes use it as a pause if want to see something more clearly but definitely not Lilith's cleavage

[@I_Eated_The_Soap]

They included the ability to skip cutscenes, guess what game it is? Couldn’t guess? Borderlands 2 VR

[@malespecimen21]

For PC Your Drive\Epic Games\Borderlands3\OakGame\Content\Movies, put the folder in large icons mode if not already to differentiate if the cutscene names aren't apparent enough, find the ones you want to skip and add more characters to the video name so the game can't recognize the cutscenes for example: -backup. Enjoy ear rape free game starts and quick character creation, you're welcome.

unless pets, mech and clone scale or get a major buff there will always be a 1 tree cookie cutter build

DameonK His crit build is still insane tho

[@kiplingordon]

@@dameonk so true

[@Edujs23]

I feel like buffing things is better for games like borderlands, since the fun comes from being powerful

[@user-ov9m54hj1b]

Eduardo JS yes but then you have what’s called power creep which is really bad. If you buff up everything to be overpowered, then one, the content becomes a joke and the game is too easy, and two, future content will suffer because it will have to be harder to compensate for the increase in power. Both buffs and nerfs are necessary for a game to be balanced. I’m not in favor however of sledgehammer nerfs.

[@Aliens1337]

I don't like nerfing things all the time, but if you only buff stuff, then the game gets power crept really quickly. Then it turns into an arms race for bigger and bigger numbers

[@scrubtastic13]

If builds are melting bosses already this early into the game life it's too much and needs toned down

[@SpliffyHusk]

Nope, look at destiny 2 for example, too many buffs to supers made every boss a one phase joke. They had to swing a huge nerf hammer to balance future content. Power creep is a real thing, and it does ruin a game when people start one shotting bosses, were humans, a challenge keeps us more engaged.

[@MrEvilTag]

Yes and no. Theres a happy middleground but if you can literally kill people just from walking towards them like my krieg in bl2, its so boring

[@LordtoRevenge]

As much as this helps Zane this still doesn't address the clear missing synergy he has in his trees. Half of his skills want shields up, half want them down, half of his skills want his health up, half want them down, half of his skils want him top speed, half want him near an area not moving. Its all over the place and I really think it needs to be looked at. You have to jump through so many hoops with Zane that it just gets old really fast. Here are some source's for people that did the math for Zane and his horrible synergy/damage, one of which even references Ryan, and showed examples of why they don't work - old.reddit.com/r/Borderlands/comments/d6rdte/jack_of_all_trades_master_of_none_zane_has_some/ old.reddit.com/r/Borderlands/comments/d651md/boring_math_and_the_scaling_of_the_violent/

[@rainofkhandaq6678]

What are you talking about? Plenty of synergy. Jack also has trees that wanted him to do opposite things, and he's considered by many to have the best Synergy in the series. You pick a route and go with it. Its not rocket science. What wants you to stay still? The Barrier that buffs movement speed and lets you pick it up to move with it? Zane has buffs for max shields, "Half want them down" is a VAST overexaggeration. Healing him when his shields are down for example, just adds to the effectiveness of "CCC". Its pure synergy at its finest. Lmao. Amara has actual tree confliction.

[@LordtoRevenge]

@@rainofkhandaq6678 Clearly other people are agreeing with me. I never really played TPS but i did watch plenty of playthroughs of it. Jack may have been like Zane but he actually put out damage and had competent AI accompanied to his clone. Zane's clone shoots 3 shots every 2 seconds and aims at everything but what you want him to aim at. Add on that it has 1 hp 100% of the time and then you get a horrible action skill. Zane's synergy issue is that pretty half of his way to get more damage is by doing the opposite of what you are doing, be it stand still/have shield, whatever. Also from what I've seen Zane is the only VH that has yet to melt nearly every boss available at mayhem 3, I've seen amara clips all over both reddits about her abilities, must not be all that bad if she is literally better than Zane at everything Zane is "good" at.

[@JustHANO]

I noticed that. I got a rough rider and a mod that deals more damage the lower your shield. But to get to the health regen ability in green, i have to take a 5 points in a shield buff that does nothing 😡🤬. Done with that build.

[@JustHANO]

@@rainofkhandaq6678 you get to the "more the less shield you have" skill, you literally have to have 5 points in a shield buffing ability. It's a slip up, but it still dumb design, now rough rider build can't just be that, it has to be a hitman build for the lifesteal.

[@DrGhoztz]

@@LordtoRevenge Clearly someone isn't very popular on Social Media if 28 likes is enough to get you off. *Not every skill has to work with every other skill.* Thats.. Thats kinda the point; theres enough variety for multiple different builds and players will make minor tweaks according to their preferences. Look, you don't like playing Zane, its cool. Maybe you *want* to play Zane, just *cant* wrap your pretty little head around his skills. All good. *Just go back to grenade spamming as moze*

[@awholelotofbees]

[@foxysobek8109]

Moze screaming is sexy tho

[@ineedmoneysp]

I think Gearbox needs to nerf Anointed enemies. In Mayhem 3 they can have more health than mini bosses and when you have to fight 2-3 at a time and they go immune or just fill the whole battlefield in fire becomes ridiculous and annoying quick. I’ve even dropped down to mayhem 2 a few time just so I didn’t have to deal with the bullshit.

[@Sweet7Montana]

Agree. When the anointed take longer to kill than the boss, something is not right..

[@ineedmoneysp]

Antivoid exactly. I’ve watched people and I have burned down boss with Flakks crit build but every time I fight anointed I have to use my action skill and then run trying or back up trying to avoid the ground that has mostly become lava.

[@Geologese]

Nah they are perfect.

[@gambeano]

One of the proving grounds is impossible in mayhem 3 they're so dumb

[@wannabeslav6914]

[@mcfry13]

How did Flakk's op abilities and Zane's lack of endgame usability make it past testers? Seems like something thatbwould come up with any amount of moderate play

[@snowjaytv]

You overestimate the amount of things they can catch with a small team of people playing the game before release. 5 or so people vs millions after release.

[@vinny5638]

Also have to take into account that the testers have testers bias, they were probably looking at huge things like plot and mechanics and animations which lets some other subtle stuff go under the radar.

[@mehoyminoy1326]

mcfry13 this is what im asking... How can they nerf everything basically because of flaks skills. Moze is kinda of an issue too but these issues are only because of their ability to regain ammo so easily on crits and causing the dps to be insane with high dmg weapons. Thus the torgue, jakobs, and soon to be probably shotty/sniper nerfs. Do they even remember borderlands is a stat based rpg?

[@wigglywiggler5562]

And how can that buggy/laggy inventory menu make it.

[@AkiSan0]

how could that story make it past them is the biggest question...

[@SuperCatacata]

How about buffing Fl4k's other shit abilities? he has ONE viable endgame build. don't nerf it without giving an alternative.

[@AscendAndSee]

Imagine complaining about Fl4k not being viable.

[@nath7486]

[@lawtonwong4175]

As far as the Atlas buff, this helps my zane out a ton. For my normal damage weapon I have a epic Atlas assault rifle that fires 2 bullets per 1 ammo and the damage before buff was like 901x2.

Im glad they are making some of these changes to bring more guns in line with each other. There's nothing worse in a game with 1 bazillion guns then being forced to use choose from like...6 of them to use if you wanna do anything on mayhem 3.

how? just on normal i got tons of legendaries. in the early game you could easily "farm" the slot machines. once you had decent equipment and a decent build you just run around killing badass enemies and open loot sources (chests and potties). the rates are so high, you should get a legendary AT LEAST every 20 potties/chests you open.

Gearbox has always been a little too nerf happy, content with taking away the fun by hammering out "problems" they should have either fixed or left alone with balance issues. They nerfed the Bee and broke skills like anarchy in the process, but did nothing to Sal who is and will always be the most broken character in the series. You can even look at battleborn and how instead of buffing the weaker characters to make them more fun, theytook the fun away from the good character, well before a meta could even be formed around them.

You will get Fade Away back up again after like a clip or so with a fast fire rate or multiple projectiles weapon. The dmg cut definite kinda hurts. You're losing a lot of dps from crit dmg, unless you made up for it with Guardian ranks + Crit dmg on gears. You probably wont be able to one shot bosses with a single Fade Away in Mayhem 3, which I think is healthy for the game.

Dallas Ray powercreep will ruin the game if they leave blatantly broken stuff in the game. There is a certain power level where gearbox wants everything to be at, so some stuff has I be brought up to that power level, others down. If everything is brought up to the highest power level, or the most powerful builds/weapons in the game, this is called powercreep. The reason this is so bad is because it makes all the current content in the game and absolute joke, removing any challenge whatsoever. It also negatively impacts new content that gets added as it will be forced to be much harder to compensate for the increase in power. Leaving everyone with what will be a single build and gun combo for every class that is even viable. That is why it is necessary for both nerfs and buffs. However I am generally not in favor of sledgehammer nerfs.
